A tissue in plants that conducts sap; an alternative or variant spelling of cinenchyma.
From Greek 'kinein' (to move) + 'enchyma' (tissue), literally meaning 'tissue that moves liquids.' Used in botany to describe the plant tissue that transports sap and nutrients.
The prefix 'cine' meaning 'movement' appears in plant science too—cinenchyma tissue is literally named for how it helps sap *move* through plants, just like blood moves through our bodies!
